LC8 release structure

2017-11-28 Thread Alejandro Tejada via use-livecode

It’s likely you are encountering some execution errors in the IDE scripts. Try setting gREVDevelopment to true and see if you get any details to report. We know there are a number of issues with the project browser keeping track of objects which is why I recently wrote an object repository libra

I'm confused now by the number of unstable releases in flight. I'm seeing LC8.2.0-dp2 dated 11 October 2017 LC8.1.8-rc2 dated 23 November 2017 and of course LC9.0.0-dp10 dated 23 October 2017 I'm fine with the slow progress on LC9, although I keep waiting for the CEF business to be fixed, but I

This sounds like a good LCG multi-part project - building a mobile app version of the dictionary that you can mark up similar to the way you can mark up pdf's and images. Maybe you have a paint/draw layer that overlays the dictionary for notes, illustrations, etc. On Mon, Nov 27, 2017 at 1:25 PM,
